The man, the myth, the legend, 7'0", 320lb, never stopped, never dropped. Nikolai Valuev. VS Everyone's favourite teenage bad boy. Women fear him and men want to be near him. 5'10" 220lbs. Mike Tyson. Who takes it? Does Valuev's iron jaw break Tyson's fragile will to overcome adversity or does Tyson chip away at the mid section for an easy points win?
I think he would, I watched diminutiive blown up cruiser Marcelo Dominguez lay into Valuevs face over and over and over again.
If Nikolai Valuev lost to David Haye, I see no reason why he wouldn't lose to Mike Tyson. The most important thing in the whole story is whether we are talking about 1988. Mike Tyson, or 2002. Mike Tyson.
Tyson was far better than anybody Valuev fought and better in every department in the ring, Valuev`s chin was never tested by punchers like Smith or Ruddock and he wa rocked by Haye the same way Tyson was rocked by Bruno, Valuev would have been knocked out by Bruno.
To follow this up with something I said previously, Marcelo Dominguez blown up cruiser got jobbed to Valuev and he was having a lot of success landing on the guy. Even relatively light punching Monte Barrett I thought stunned Valuev for a second in their contest.
